Bill to phase out PFAS from apparel, other products passes key committee
Would reduce toxic “forever chemicals” in products like cookware, dental floss, menstruation products and ski wax
The Senate Business, Labor, and Technology Committee approved SB24-081 which would phase out outdoor apparel, cleaning products, cookware, dental floss, menstruation products, ski wax, textile products and artificial turf.
PFAS are human-made chemicals that are used in products because of their oil- and water- repelling capabilities, heat resistance, and friction-reduction qualities. These harmful chemicals build up in the bodies of humans over time and are toxic at low concentrations, causing major health problems.
